Action RPG mobile game Mega Man X DiVE has been announced



It might not be the mainline revival that fans have been hoping for, but Capcom has just announced Mega Man, or rather, Rockman X DiVE. Revealed by Capcom Taiwan for release in Japan on iOS and Android, this is a new mobile game featuring characters from the Mega Man X series. The teaser trailer doesn't actually show much, giving only the barest of glimpses at actual gameplay, but one thing we do know, is that DiVE has been confirmed to be an action-RPG. Both X and Zero are seen as being playable, while Axl and a host of other characters are shown at the end of the trailer in key art. Mega Man X DiVE will launch sometime before the end of this year.

Capcom Taiwan's YouTube said:
Deep Log The digital world where "MEGAMEN X Series Game" was stored. Also the memory of "You" as a player.... "Deep Log" appears abnormal for unknown reasons All stages, Maverics ,all the characters from "MEGAMEN X Series" are all mixed up because of game errors.

So Protodude was right about this one, guess that means a Battle Network game is in the works... also for smartphones :/



Why are they merging X and Network? Kill it with immortal hellfire. Network is an abomination and should cease staining the series with its garbage.

Lets turn Mega Man into a tamagotchi, great fuckin' idea Japan.


Still gonna play the damn thing though.

Have we been watching the same video? I see nothing Battle Network related.
Battle Network was awesome by the way.

We need Battle Network Collection like Zero Collection in DS. Maybe that can spark some new fire to the for battle system? Wasted on so many level.

They should stop milking MMX.

No way. MMX and MMZero are fun games if anything they need to keep them coming. But not as in a mobile f2p game. Traditional format as you imagine them in the handhelds or consoles with fast paced 2d action. I just cant believe they used the mmx legacy collection funds to make this project happen and not x9. baffling truely baffling

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also to add to the comments about the series shouldve died years ago. Nah I dont agree also. I dont care about the story lore at this stage we have to accept it wont be mature and it will be neglected by capcom with shoddy kid friendly voice acting and cringe plot. But the gameplay if they can use fast paced ps1 era mechanics 2d format with hd sprites I do not care if it plays exactly the same.

Give me new bosses, new weapons, no stages and random final boss I do not care for that gameplay alone I will pay if they make megaman x 1000 or 1000000 Ill enjoy it. Play it on the move play it at home I just want that format its fun to me and doesnt get old and stale it doesnt need to be like a modern god of war, final fantasy or devil may cry update in mechanics and gameplay. To me the snes and ps1 mechanics were not broken just make nice level design and gameplay and its a win. Ideally I would love for the story to be amazing but Ive learned to accept that capcom is not capable of this

MMX and MMZero's formula lives on through the often-forgotten ZX series.


I disagree, they need to make a new better game. (Or a new good series)

I've never played a battle network game, but my brother lives them.
A good new series would be enough. MM11 is fine as it is since there's no proper plot going on, but MMX has wore itself thin after MMZero became a thing.

Why do companies believe it's a good idea to put promising games on fucking mobile

Because unfortunately they're more interested in netting a few whales with MTX than they are in making a quality game.
It's disgusting madness. Mega Man is generally pretty hardcore stuff. Isn't the fanbase exactly the type of people who passionately loathe mobile gaming?

But here's the thing, while I absolutely love the classic megaman series. I prefer the megaman x series to it. I always thought mega man x tried more to modernize the series and to offer something new. Especially in Mega man X8 which was rushed, but had a lot of cool ideas that could lead to an awesome sequel. If Capcom doesn't rush the next mega man x titles, it could easily be a good way for them to create an amazing mega man title.

I actually wouldn't mind a mega man battle network game on the phone as long as it's a good one. Just port it to the Nintendo switch too and I'm absolutely fine with that.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
